The fi ve hottest products as determined by readers of truckpartsandservice.com The Buzz Expanding RSD brake shoe kits AxleTech International is expand- ing its on-highway brake shoe kits product line with Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD)-certifi ed brake linings. AxleTech provides on-highway brake shoe kits in Economy, Standard, Premium, and Severe Duty formulations, in both 20,000 and 23,000 lb. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The company says the kits include new brake shoes and OE-quality hardware for ease of installation. New crop of aftermarket products NEWSTAR has added an assortment of parts to its aftermarket product offering. The company describes the products as a bracket for muffl er guard support that fi ts International trucks; a chrome ABS plastic grille for Hino trucks; a trailer camshaft for Hendrick- son trailer axles; and a strap kit for various Spicer u-joints. Wheel nut checking tool Wheel-Check introduces a product designed to identify a loose wheel nut to help prevent brake and bearing problems. When the wheel nuts are torqued properly, a Wheel- Check can be placed on each wheel nut in a uniform pattern; once a wheel nut has loosened, the attached Wheel-Check will appear out of sequence for easy iden- tifi cation. If a brake binds or a bearing seizes, Wheel- Check says the heat is transferred through the stud and nut; once the temperature exceeds 248˚F, the Wheel- Check will start to blister around the circumference and eventually begin to distort. Assorted aftermarket components PAI Industries has added a group of engine mount com- ponents, oil pans and kits and headlamps to its heavy-duty product offering. PAI says the engine mounts fit assorted Freightliner, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks. Some of the oil pan products come in kits, others are sold independently. The pans fit Detroit Diesel, Mack, Volvo, Cummins and Navistar engines. The new lamps fit Freightliner, International and Volvo trucks.
